A passel of Pipers

Meet the pilots

• 
  1974 Piper Seneca II: “I love this airplane. It’s my dad’s old airplane and it’s been in our family for over 30 years. It reminds me of my dad and continues his legacy.” Andrew Findlay; Norfolk, Virginia
• 
  1957 Piper Tri-Pacer PA–22-150: “I learned to fly in my dad’s Tri-Pacer, and I came across pretty good deal on this one. It’s taken me from southern Maryland to Texas and it can haul a load. I can take the family with me wherever we’re going—all three kids and all of our stuff, and it’s been great.” Matt Carruthers; St. Mary’s, Maryland
• 
  1955 Piper Pacer: “I first saw this airplane 16 years ago and told the owner I’d own it one day. I love it because of the restoration by Richard Miller. It’s absolutely superb, and I love the red-and-black color scheme.” Joe Flood; Franklinville, New Jersey
• 
  Piper PA–28R201T Arrow: “My Piper is my first-sight love. Fast, efficient, reliable, it couldn’t be a better choice to travel all over the Greek islands with power and safety. Next to me is a fellow pilot, Tom Papachristos, from Marion, Arkansas, who joined me on a flight in Greece.” Dinos Georgiadis; Thessaloniki, Greece
• 
  1946 Piper PA–12 Super Cruiser: “I love it because it’s a Cub, and Cubs are my favorite airplane. This airplane has a Lycoming O-290-D2 135-horsepower engine, so it flies like a Cub, but it has a little more power and performance.” Brian McCay; Charlottesville, Virginia
